Hi I lost on game on time, because my windows crashed. I lost all dates and had to reinstall it. Is it possible to reactivate the game? Best wishes, Doerdich

@matarilevich yes, you are right, K can have a greater value. But usually it is 10 or 15. But compared with the BKR: Here it is possible to lose about 100 points in game, too much I think.

Hi, I developed a New Chess Variant, I want to suggest (I call it "Capture-Chess"): There are the same pieces and the same board like in normal chess, but additionaly it is allowed to capture own pieces. If someone captures his own king, he cannot be checkmated. But then he has to checkmate the other in a maximum of 50 moves (this is of course variable, but I took 50 in analogy to the draw-rule of 50 moves), otherwise he is lost. If someone has already captured his own king, the opponent may not capture his own king.

To 2): Could you also consider my idea? I also found some interestng others in the internet. Of course it is not necessary to realise them immediately but I just want to show them to you.
To 3)Fide Rating is more "fair" in my view. Here, no strong players will play vs. weaker rated players, because they simply lose to much points. Some low rated players even don't play so bad because they are maybe new to this site.

Well, Fencer, I read that, but it doesn't give much information. Seems that there is a problem with the creator or something like that?!
What about question 2. and 3. ? ^^

New questions:
1. Why has Gothic Chess been removed?
2. Will there be new chess variations in the future? I developed one by myself...
3. I think the BKR calculation should be more like e.g. FIDE-ratings. Here you can lose to much points in one game I think. In FIDE_Rating, the maximum you can win in one game are 12.5 points, the maximum you can lose of course are also 12.5 points.

I have a question about the BKR: How is it calculated?

Hi,
usually only symmetrical games are balanced, because it is very difficult to figure out which arrangent is equal when there are different start positions or different pieces. But, sometimes I think also symmetrical games can extremly favour one side (usually white). One example: In Three Check Chess I think white is much better and black has a very difficult game...

thank you all for your help,

we agreed draw now and will soon start a regame, so everything is fine now ;-)) best wishes, doerdich

Hi, then I find it a bit irritating that in the rules the name "crazy house" is mentioned! Fischer-Random-Chess e. g. also has many names (Chess960 and so on), so how can somebody know that loop chess is not the same like crazyhouse? Is it possible to abort this game, I am a queen down. I dont like loop chess at all because if I had chosen a bishop I would have won now...

Look into the rules:

"...Spiralschach (aka "Crazy House" oder "Einsetzschach" oder auch "Tandemschach" aber hier nur 2 Spieler)..."

In my first crazyhouse game, there occured a big mistake in my view: I pushed a pawn to the 8th rank and chose a queen, then my opponent captured the queen, and then he got a second queen to put in! This is definetely wrong because in all Tandem games and Crazy house games I have ever seen pieces which are chosen by pawn promotion will count as a "pawn". Otherwise this game would not be playable with two sets of chess pieces. Please change it quickly and let me abort my game, thx! (If not, next time I won't promote a pawn to queen, but e.g. to a knight, but this doesn't really make sense at all) Best wishes, Doerdich
